It's Halloween season!
You know, there was a time when I used to buy my kids costumes at Marshalls. They were always the cutest costumes made with good quality fabric and very well priced. Now that they wear adult size costumes, I can no longer visit Marshalls or TJMaxx for their costumes BUT that doesn't mean I can't share their wonderful boo-tiful costumes with you all! ;)
This year, your kids can be anything their little hearts desire – an Emoji for the tech-savvy, a baker’s dozen for … [Read more...]

Happy new year everyone!
I hope everyone rang in the new year happy, healthy and ready to save some moolah! I don't know about you but I'm horrible at saving money for a vacation, or the holidays or even a rainy day.

My sister, out of all people I know, hasn't done much shopping with coupons -- that is until she moved to a beautiful apartment with a much higher rent. In the past year, I have tried to tell her that the way to save money on groceries and toiletries, she must buy a newspaper or two to get her maximum savings due to the coupon inserts. Since she's a workaholic, she doesn't have the time to coupon like I do so she's been taking baby steps.
Hey, a girl's gotta start somewhere, … [Read more...]

It's been a long time since I participated in Secret Santa. I remember in college, my friends and I got together and we decided on playing Secret Santa one year to save some money. We agreed on having $10 as the limit. We placed all the names of the girls participating in a hat and each of us chose one name each. When it was time to give each other gifts, some of us knew who their Secret Santa was already. It was a lot of fun.
Recently, RocketXL contacted me and asked if I wanted to par … [Read more...]

If you missed Black Friday deals, don't fret. I did too. There's something about standing on line in the FREEZING cold, waiting for the doors to open so that I can get a deal of the century that I do not like. I rather shop in the comfort of my own home with my pj's sipping on hot chocolate on Cyber Monday.
Here are some deals I have found to be a great deal today and some even thru tomorrow!
Aeropostale -- Cyber Monday Deals ALL DAY LONG.
Aerosoles -- Save an extra 20% off any purchase … [Read more...]
